Chapter 708: Chapter 708

Qianyang Realm, Donghua Cultivation Realm.

Spirit Control Sect, a tranquil estate, Su Changfeng and Lin Yutong were sitting in a cyan stone pavilion, chatting leisurely.

"With Master Aunt Lin advancing to the Divinity Transformation Stage, our Spirit Control Sect now has two Soul Transformation Cultivators."

Su Changfeng said excitedly.

He had entered the Divinity Transformation Stage over four hundred years ago, still at the early phase, and his life-bound Spirit Insect, the Purple Crystal Sky Scorpion, was at the late stage of the fourth order.

Ice Silkworm True Person had failed multiple attempts to break through to the Divinity Transformation Stage and had already passed away, and so had Han Yuwei.

Lin Yutong had recently overcome the Fifty-Nine Heavenly Tribulations and ascended to the Divinity Transformation Stage.

Counting the years, it had been over six hundred years since Shen Long ascended to the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot.

The Spirit Control Sect remained the leading sect of the Qianyang Realm, and the Sun Moon Palace was developing well too.

"I wonder how Senior Brother Shen and Senior Brother Yuan are doing now!"

Lin Yutong said, her face full of curiosity.

"Once our cultivation reaches the middle stage of Soul Transformation, we’ll know when we ascend to the Realm of the Spiritual Pivot."

Su Changfeng’s face showed a look of yearning.

Both he and Lin Yutong were at the Soul Transformation Stage, but since Lin Yutong was Shen Long’s junior sister, Su Changfeng had to call her Master Aunt.

"I’ve only recently entered the Divinity Transformation Stage, and I don’t know how long it will take to advance to the middle stage of Soul Transformation. You should take the Tianyuan Sword with you to do business in other realms, and see if you can find some Miracle Elixirs that advance mana to speed up cultivation. If the Purple Crystal Sky Scorpion advances to the fifth order, you might be able to step into the middle phase of Soul Transformation,"

Lin Yutong suggested.

"There’s no rush for that, Master Aunt Lin should focus on consolidating her cultivation first. This time when I go out, I plan to visit a few more realms, hoping that the Purple Crystal Sky Scorpion can advance to the fifth order!"

Su Changfeng said, his face showing a look of yearning.

Lin Yutong nodded, chatted idly for a while more, then she went back to her dwelling to practice cultivation.

Realm of the Spiritual Pivot, Qianling Sect.

Golden Roc Peak, Golden Roc Garden, Sun Lin stood at the entrance of the Golden Golden Roc Pavilion.

He was holding a messaging plate in his hand that flickered with blue light, his brows furrowed tightly.

"Master Uncle Nangong, Uncle Shen is still cultivating; I’ve sent a Sound Transmission Talisman, but Uncle Shen hasn’t come out."

It had been over fifty years since Shen Long had entered the Void Refinement Phase. Many Void Refining Cultivators had contacted Sun Lin, wanting to meet Shen Long, who had been in secluded cultivation all this time.

"Let me know as soon as Brother Shen comes out of seclusion,"

A loud male voice said.

"Is Senior Brother Nangong looking for me?"

A robust male voice resounded.

As the voice fell, the door to the Golden Golden Roc Pavilion opened, and Shen Long came out with a smile on his face.

He had successfully cultivated the fourth layer of the Myriad Beasts True Scripture, mastering new divine skills, and could now transform into the shape of a Flood Dragon to confront enemies.

"Uncle Shen, you’ve come out of seclusion. Master Uncle Nangong has contacted you."

Sun Lin reported, handing over the Messaging Plate to Shen Long.

"Brother Shen, you’ve finally come out of seclusion. Are you free right now? I have something to discuss with you,"

A deep male voice said.

"It’s convenient. Senior Brother Nangong can come now; I will wait for you at Golden Roc Peak,"

"Alright, I’ll be right there,"

The man agreed and then broke off the connection.

"Master Nephew Sun, prepare some tea; Senior Brother Nangong will be arriving shortly."

Shen Long instructed, giving the Messaging Plate back to Sun Lin.

Sun Lin responded affirmatively, took out the tea leaves and tea set, and began brewing tea.

He had just brewed the Spiritual Tea when a golden Escape Light descended from the sky, appearing above Golden Roc Peak. The light converged, revealing a flying shuttle that glinted with ceaseless golden radiance.

A tall man in a golden robe and a buxom woman in a blue dress stood atop the golden flying shuttle, both of them Void Refining Cultivators.

"Senior Brother Nangong, Senior Sister Qin, please come in,"

said Shen Long politely as he withdrew the prohibition.

The man in the golden robe formed a spell with his hands, and the golden flying shuttle landed on the ground.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother Shen! This is a little token of our appreciation. It is not much, but please accept it,"

the woman in the blue dress said, taking out a blue Storage Bracelet and handing it to Shen Long.

Qin Ting, Mid-Stage Void Refinement.

Shen Long took the Storage Bracelet, and with a sweep of his Divine Sense, he found ten thousand-year-old Spiritual Medicines and a mid-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure inside.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Nangong, Senior Sister Qin."

Shen Long thanked them and accepted the blue Storage Bracelet.

"There’s no need to be formal, Junior Brother Shen. It’s just a small gesture. Has your Life-Bound Magic Treasure ascended to mid-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure yet? I can help,"

the man in the golden robe offered warmly.

Nangong Ming, Hollow Phasing Late Stage, Sixth-Rank Artifact Refiner.

"My Life-Bound Treasure is a Heavy-Class Treasure. To ascend it to a mid-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, I require sixth-rank materials suitable for heavy items,"

Shen Long said with a look of difficulty.

"You’re talking about Tianxin Jade, aren’t you? I have quite a few of these materials. If Junior Brother Shen trusts me, I can help upgrade your Life-Bound Treasure to mid-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, and we also have a favor to ask."

Nangong Ming stated formally.

"Please feel free to speak, Senior Brother Nangong."

"We found an ancient cultivator’s cave in Ten Thousand Spirits Tomb, but the prohibition is too strong; it requires immense strength to break. We would like to invite Junior Brother Shen to join us on a trip to Ten Thousand Spirits Tomb, what do you think?"

Nangong Ming said slowly.

"Ten Thousand Spirits Tomb! What kind of prohibition requires immense strength to break? Why not find someone else?"

Shen Long asked, puzzled.

"It’s one of the ’Ten Great Ancient Prohibitions,’ the Vajra Subduing Demon Barrier. Junior Brother Shen’s physical body is powerful, and with the help of a mid-grade Heavy-Class Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, you should be able to break the prohibition. We were thinking of asking Junior Brother Li Dong, but he’s out on business,"

Nangong Ming explained.

"Of course, there are many strong individuals in our sect, and if we cooperate with them, we wouldn’t get much of the loot. Junior Brother Shen is less powerful, and as an alchemist, it would be better to work with you,"

Qin Ting revealed their thoughts.

The Qianling Sect has many Void Refinement Cultivators specializing in Body Cultivation, and Li Dong is the most renowned among them, accompanied by a sixth-stage Wind Flood Dragon. However, he is away.

"What treasures are in the cave that make it worth the risk of venturing into Ten Thousand Spirits Tomb?"

Shen Long asked, curious.

"It is the Zouhua Cave of Master Miaoyuan. Rumor has it he possessed seeds of the Seven-Leaf Jade Lotus. We hope that after obtaining the seeds, you would help craft them into Seven-Leaf Jade Lotus Pills,"

Nangong Ming explained.

"I have only recently advanced to the Void Refinement Stage and am not strong enough. I won’t join in this tempting endeavor. Please find someone else, Senior Brother Nangong. If you manage to acquire a Seven-Leaf Jade Lotus seed of over twenty thousand years old, I can assist in crafting the Seven-Leaf Jade Lotus Pill,"

said Shen Long sincerely.

The Ten Thousand Spirits Tomb is a notoriously dangerous place in the Green Lotus Continent, where even Unity Cultivators may perish. Shen Long had advanced to the Void Refinement Stage less than a hundred years ago, and his Thunder Roc was still in the late fifth stage. He had no intention of entering the Ten Thousand Spirits Tomb at this juncture to seek treasure; there were other ways to court death than this.

"That’s fine! Then we will look for someone else. However, we hope Junior Brother Shen will keep this confidential and not mention it to others,"

Nangong Ming said earnestly.

"Of course, I’ll keep my lips sealed,"

After chatting for half an hour, Nangong Ming and Qin Ting took their leave. Shen Long handed his Life-Bound Dharma Treasure, the Zyphyxial Blade, to Nangong Ming, who would assist in its advancement to a mid-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure.

Currently, only six alchemists within the Qianling Sect can craft superior Elixirs, and Shen Long is one of them. They wanted to cultivate a good relationship with Shen Long.
